Touchstone Crag

Touchstone Crag (77°11′57″S 161°18′26″E) is a rugged mountain rising to 1550 meters 1.4 nautical miles (2.6 km) west of Mick Peak in the west part of the Helicopter Mountains. The abrupt south-facing cliffs of the feature also mark the northwestern extremity of the Saint Johns Range. Named by the Advisory Committee on Antarctic Names in 2007 after Steven Touchstone, a helicopter mechanic in support of the U.S. Antarctic Program at McMurdo Sound and the McMurdo Dry Valleys in nine austral field seasons, from 1999-2000 to 2007-08.
